CHECK MATE: THE CROSSOVER DUET (The VDB Trilogy)

CHECKIt should have been so simple. So clear.One at the top, three beneath him.But nothing is clear anymore.After two years living their lives together Alexander White has become distant and withdrawn, his mind a turmoil of unanswered questions, and the other three are broken because of it. Lost and left wanting. Well, two are. Lilah James doesn’t give a damn, other than ensuring Pascal Van Der Braack is adequately provided for. Unfortunately, he’s not being looked after at all, which means chaos and mischief could ensue at any given moment.Always worrisome.And when a rather royal problem comes to tarnish the already broken, something that none of them know how to deal with, whatever structure they had is suddenly unable to carry on. Becoming a four in love brought its own battles. Staying as four might break them all.MATEThe clock is ticking.Thoughts and problems colliding.And no one knows who wants what.With the news of Pascal’s royal quandary unraveling, and threats coming every way they turn, the four should be rallying together to protect their own. But, as always, heads are spinning, arrogance and arguments brewing, and now the future looks as uncertain as it could be. Bleak and without true cause or direction.Unless Lilah works out what to do.Instinct – that’s what Sabella talked of. That’s what she said was needed for peace to settle. But how to achieve it with Alexander incapable of such a thing? How can four settle into one and find their fairy-tale ending? It should have been so simple. So clear.And yet the murky depths keep unfurling. And the problems keep expanding.And one will be left wanting at the end.*Author Note - THIS BOOK IS THE CROSSOVER DUET IN ONE.It contains both CHECK (Crossover Duet #1) and MATE (Crossover Duet #2) in one edition.The Crossover Duet is a continuation of the White and VDB Trilogies - It should not be read as a standalone.
